Synopsis
Every year the Florida government invites the public to compete in an invasive python removal contest in the Everglades. For 10 nights, an eclectic group of hunters confront the dangerous terrain, nocturnal creatures and their own desires.
Moviegoers are saying
The Python Hunt delivers a hypnotic dive into Florida's strangest subculture, following an eclectic cast of characters—from microdosing San Francisco hippies to ex-Marine influencers—as they hunt invasive pythons in the nocturnal Everglades. Critics praise its stunning cinematography and refusal to reduce its subjects to punchlines, though some feel the character narratives lack depth and the environmental angle could be explored more thoroughly.

Hunting snakes on ecstasy in the Everglades already sounds like a documentary pitch impossible to mess up, but The Python Hunt is much stranger, funnier and more beautiful than the premise suggests. Xander Robin follows the Florida Python Challenge like a sweaty, nocturnal…
